      I have a hard time seeing how you can hold these two positions. I suppose you could if you made a distinction between supporting democracy/rule of law & substantive police positions. But that's a false distinction: democracy & rule of law are also policy matter.pic.twitter.com/0eTRs9Bvsa

      I think this is a usefully sophisticated way of thinking about the "moderation" issue -- going hard right on some issues allows a Republican to be more moderate on others. But I'll add that a lot of Trump's supposed moderation was in level of rhetoric.

      Trump was able to “moderate” on trade and redistributive policy because his positions on race, status threat, and institutions mattered more to key coalitions of voters. The new cross-cutting dimension is electoral legitimacy and liberal democracy, hence pro-union anti-biz Rubio https://twitter.com/gelliottmorris/status/1390701973792608262 …

          Trump got some milage from fact that Bush-Cheney were so extreme. His foreign policy was pretty hard right but he didn't launch a cataclysmic war of choice that will wreck havoc for decades to come. Nor did he try to privatize social security.

          Yeah, to play off your tweet, I certainly wouldn’t call the 2017 AHCA “moderate” toward Medicaid

          I believe there’s two majority positions in the US. Social democracy and white supremacy. When things are bad, people in the middle of the Venn diagram lean social democrat. When things are good, they get resentful of sharing and lean white supremacist.

          How is drastically cutting taxers on the wealthy a "redistributive policy" unless he means redistributing from the poor and middle class to the rich.
